Andrew Schantz
Principal
“I always thought engineering was about developing creative ways to solve problems. In a way, it still is, but it is much more about being good stewards.”
"It is about being good stewards of our clients' and the earth's resources while finding opportunities to add value throughout every stage of a project. Earning our clients' trust while advancing proven design solutions to support their mission is what makes this work rewarding and inspires me to take on the next challenge."
Andrew Schantz joined AEI's Chicago office in 2008 and brings extensive experience designing electrical systems for healthcare, higher education, science and technology, data center, pharmaceutical, industrial, and petrochemical facilities.
